Fix my WordPress website. I can't access the admin - getting login errors - not sending password (or reset password) when requested. It is hosted on DreamHost. I do have recent WP Staging backup (just over a gig), but haven't used it, since I can't access the WP admin anyway. I suppose I could just reinstall WP, install that plugin, then restore, but not sure if I should try that. [login to view URL] I also have an xml file. Need someone who doesn't ask me to release payment the second they say the work is done. Usually, I've seen, fixes work for a couple days, THEN break again. So be patient before you ask me for release and review. If you really believe in your work, you'll wait a moment.

Hi, I've dealt with this exact WordPress login and password reset issue many times on DreamHost—it's typically caused by a corrupted `wp_users` table, a misconfigured site URL, or a mail function failure blocking reset emails. I'll access your database directly via phpMyAdmin in DreamHost's panel, manually reset your admin credentials, verify the wp-mail settings, and check for any plugin conflicts causing the lockout—no need to reinstall WordPress or risk your staging backup. I can start right now. And I completely respect your approach on payment—I'm confident in my work, so I'm happy to wait until you've confirmed everything stays stable before you release. Let's get you back in.

Login errors on your WordPress site, especially when password resets aren't being sent, can be really frustrating. The fact that you have a recent WP Staging backup is helpful. Given your hosting is on DreamHost, I'd start by checking the server and environment variables to ensure they're properly configured. My approach would involve auditing the target hosting environment, configuring domain and SSL settings, and setting up environment variables step by step. I'd also ensure post-deployment QA to verify forms, APIs, images, and third-party scripts are working as expected. ~ Rajesh

Should you have CPanel (or equivalent) access to your server, then I believe I can recover admin access to your site. Your backup might be helpful as well in this case, although it might contain whatever bug that end up blocking your admin access. I personally do not mind waiting a few days before a milestone gets released, just don't disappear for a year, and then cancel it afterwards... that has happened to me before, which is why I understand why most freelancers asks for milestone release after they deliver the work. Anyway, looking forward to fixing your site. Thank you for reading this far.

Hi, I can troubleshoot the WordPress login/reset issue directly on DreamHost before considering any restore or reinstall. Reinstalling first risks overwriting a simpler fix. I’d start by checking: • WordPress email delivery / SMTP issues (why reset emails fail) • Corrupted plugins/themes causing admin lockout • User table/login issues in the database • DreamHost PHP/version conflicts or server errors • .htaccess, security plugins, or failed updates • Debug logs and file permissions Since you have a recent WP Staging backup, we have a safety net. I can also verify whether the XML and backup are useful for recovery before making changes. I understand your concern about “fixed today, broken tomorrow.” I’m comfortable with a short observation period after the fix to confirm stability before considering the job complete. Please share DreamHost access (or temporary credentials), and I’ll assess the root cause first rather than applying risky quick fixes.
